Synopsis

A new culture is emerging-one of spiritual openness, moral flexibility, and social diversity. This diversity culture makes evangelicals uncomfortable, not because they feel threatened, but because they feel excluded. Writing from the perspective of a conservative evangelical, author Matthew Raley tackles the social tensions between evangelicals and the diversity culture. Drawing on analysis of contemporary media, ancient sources, and Scripture, The Diversity Culture examines cultural barriers and how they can be broken, helping Christians understand this cosmopolitan group on their own terms. This incisive and much-needed book gives believers the understanding and tools they need to cross socioeconomic, ethical, and ideological barriers and heal relationships in the name of Christ.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

What is the diversity culture? And what does it have to do with me?

A new culture has emerged. It preaches spiritual openness, moral flexibility, and social diversity--and it's making evangelicals uncomfortable. Threatened. Excluded. Writing with both Christian worldview and an open mind, author Matthew Raley tackles the social tensions between evangelicals and the diversity culture with honesty and understanding.

Analyzing contemporary media, historical sources, and Scripture, The Diversity Culture looks at the cultural barriers of society and how they can be breached, so readers can understand--and approach--cosmopolitan peers on their own terms. Incisive and indispensable, this book challenges believers to cross socioeconomic, ethical, and ideological hurdles to heal human relationships in the name of Christ.
